Journal: Food Fact-Finding?
Alright boys and girls and others,

I am undertaking to give a friend a crash course in International cuisine, and I was wondering if anyone could recommend their favourite ethnic restaurants and cafés around London? Although I suppose I am a wizard, so outside London could feasibly work? Just nothing in Manchester, please. I'm also fine with either magical or Muggle.

I'm totally willing to repay your kindness somehow!

	My family is Carribean by origin, and the best I know not cooked by relatives is Mango Room, and yes they do takeaway, but beware if you're not used to spices. When they say traditional they mean lots of chilli. It's a muggle place. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	You are absolute legend, Thomas! And dishes you recommend? I love spice but I'm not sure about my friend. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No problem, you're welcome. If you like spice I recommend anything with jerk sauce, or the ackee and saltfish. Any of the curries are probably pretty hot too. For something less spicy I'd suggest the risotto or the seabream. Just don't forget that if you're having sides Rice and Peas is cooked with scotch bonnets although it tends towards warm rather than hot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh Merlin, jerk chicken! I love that stuff so much. I may end up giving it a miss for the whole international dinner thing, depending on how well my friend goes with spices, but I'll definitely be eating there myself! What team do you support, I'll get you a season pass - such awesome advice can't go unrewarded! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, it's no trouble, really. Mostly I cook it myself if I want jerk chicken, but I'm banned from giving out the recipe, on pain of my aunt's wrath. And thanks for the offer, really, but the tickets would only go to waste. ~~I can't stand the crowds any more.~~ I'm going to be too busy to get there for a while, I've got a big project just starting.

Merlin's teeth, what would it take for me to prevail upon you to cook it for you? Do I need to bring in Bonsie? I know you two are great mates!

[Warded to Dean]
That's okay! Fair enough about the crowds - I'm really sorry if I triggered you or anything mate, not my intention in the slightest!

Seriously though if you ever need help with anything, just ask. A friend of Susan's is a friend of mine.

	We'll see. I'm serious about being busy at the moment, but if you remind me come December I'll see what I can do. [Warded to Roger] No, it's okay, I can talk crowds, just don't want to go into them if I can avoid it. (Reply to this) (Parent)
